This petition is meant for the United States as a nation. People every day are being denied jobs, the opportunity to make a living or support a family because of the color of their hair or because they have tattoos or piercings. I believe this is wrong and it violates our rights stated under the constitution. I want this to be a nationwide petition to protect our rights so we are not forced to limit our potential in the work force, or to have to take measures to hide ourselves because of what we look like. Why should we be treated differently or concidered differently in the persuit of a job because we have a tattoo or piercing or different colored hair, even when we have the experience or training to perform well Why should we have to cover our individuality I believe so long as a person is dressed professionally and acts respectfully and performs well at the given task it should not matter what we look like. So please, even if you don\'t have tattos, piercings, or dyed hair, stand with me to stop discrimination based on personal appearance. Sign this petition so that we may make working any job not out of reach just because of what we look like! Let every person have a Freedom of Appearance and Self Expression!

Too many good people are out of work because of outdated grooming codes. Skills matter more than looks.

Ridiculous that I cant get a job because I have a nose piercing. It doesnt effect my ability to type or talk to customers at all.

My sleeve is covered up every day at the office even though its literally just art. Its time employers grew up and judged off skill not ink.

TOTALLY AGREE. my hair color has nothing to do with how hard I work.

People really need to get over themselves. Its 2016 not 1950. Let us live.
